For those who do not yet know, taking along a child who is neither yours nor sibling on a journey has become a risky venture. I do not know about other parts of the country, but here in Rivers State, commuting along with someone else's child could land one in trouble regardless of good intentions.

The Girl Child is the mother of tomorrow and therefore should be well equipped to face the challenges of motherhood. This means that the place of the Girl Child should not be seen as inferior to that of her male counterpart.
